Bossy sweet girl [daughter of a minor official] x aloof tsundere [regent]
When Qi Ao was inspecting Jiangnan, his subordinates inexplicably presented him with a woman. Without telling him beforehand, they slipped her into his quarters while he was drunk after a banquet. Seeing the woman lying on his bed, Qi Ao rebuked her sharply, full of anger and disgust.

To save her own life, Zhan Yining threw caution to the wind. One day, while he was asleep, she stealthily tugged open his waistband...
Reader's guide:

Theme: If you want it, get it
